These Three-Cheese Mashed Potatoes Are The Easy Upgrade Your Menu Is Missing

Mashed potatoes are an essential part of many meals during the year—heck, there's a good chance you eat them on the regular. That's why we're determined to make them extra special for Thanksgiving this year, whether it's mixing in classy ingredients like caramelized onion and goat cheese or keeping things simple, but still delish, with this three-cheese version.

Not satisfied with simply adding one cheese, we went extreme—and all in—with white cheddar, Parmesan, and cream cheese (couldn't help it). The trio of cheeses make for an incredible flavor.

Luckily, these bad boys are super easy to make: You simply boil potatoes, add butter and mash, as you normally would do. Make sure to cook your potatoes until all pieces are soft, lest you end up with less than ideal lumps (a little lumpage is welcome; there's a fine line though). Combine all three cheeses (go for whipped cream cheese, which is easier to fold into the potatoes) with sour cream, a little garlic salt, and season with salt and pepper. I used a hand mixer to make sure everything mixed well and to add a fluffier texture. Regardless of how you make them, I promise you these are the creamiest mashed potatoes ever.
